I didn't misread your comment: I'm not really concerned with whether or not the policy is considered a step in the right direction or not, just suggesting that it really doesn't matter at all to the success or failure of Rust.

The Python Software Foundation exists because of the tremendous success of Python, not because of the tremendous success of their policies.
